Homes with Acreage for Sale in Talmage, Utah
Talmage is a small ranching community on the south slope of the Uintas in Duchesne County, sitting between Altamont and Tabiona along the Currant Creek drainage. Acreage here means real working land — hay fields, irrigated pasture, horse setups, and parcels backing up to BLM or National Forest. Elevations run around 6,400 to 6,800 feet, so summers are mild and green while winters bring genuine snow and cold nights. Buyers drawn to Talmage are usually after space, livestock rights, water shares, and quiet that you simply can't get along the Wasatch Front. Most homes on acreage here are stick-built ranchers or modulars with detached shops, loafing sheds, and round pens, and the going price per acre is a fraction of what you'd pay in Heber Valley or Kamas.
The trade-off is rural living in its honest form: well and septic instead of city utilities, propane heat is common, plowing your own lane in January is part of the deal, and the nearest full grocery store is in Roosevelt about 25 minutes east. In exchange, you get access to the Uinta Mountains out your back door — Moon Lake, Yellowstone Canyon, and miles of trail-riding country are minutes away — along with some of the best elk and mule deer hunting in the state. Property taxes are low and Duchesne County zoning is friendly to livestock, ag use, and outbuildings.

Common questions
About homes with acreage in Talmage.
How much land typically comes with acreage properties in Talmage? ▾
Most acreage listings in the Talmage area run from 2 to 20 acres, with some larger ranch parcels stretching well past 40 acres. Lot sizes vary based on water rights, irrigation share access, and whether the land was split off from a working hay or cattle operation.
Are water rights included with Talmage acreage? ▾
Water is the single biggest variable in this part of Duchesne County. Some parcels carry shares in local irrigation companies pulling from the Strawberry or Currant Creek systems, while others rely on private wells. Always verify deeded water rights and well permits with the Utah Division of Water Rights before writing an offer.
Can I keep horses, cattle, or other livestock on the property? ▾
Yes — Talmage sits in unincorporated Duchesne County zoning that generally allows horses, cattle, sheep, chickens, and similar livestock on acreage parcels. Setbacks for barns and corrals apply, and any new ag structures need a county building permit.
How far is Talmage from services and a larger town? ▾
Talmage is about 10 minutes from Altamont and roughly 25 minutes to Roosevelt or Duchesne for groceries, fuel, schools, and the regional hospital. Salt Lake City is about 2.5 hours west via US-40, and Heber is around 90 minutes.
What's the elevation and growing season like for hobby farming? ▾
Talmage sits near 6,500 feet on the south slope of the Uinta Mountains, which means a short growing season — roughly mid-June through early September — and cold winters with real snowpack. Hay, alfalfa, and pasture grasses do well; tender vegetables need cold frames or hoop houses.
Is high-speed internet available on rural Talmage acreage? ▾
Coverage is patchy but improving. Strata Networks has been extending fiber through parts of the Uintah Basin, and fixed-wireless plus Starlink are common backups on parcels outside the fiber footprint. Confirm the specific address with providers before closing if remote work matters.
